This is so interesting! I've been having fun playing around with item creation, after I finished the mission 'Create a weapon' that came after 'make mana infused thing' with 'Hob Gob Rob', I was able to change the descriptions to 'make a story'.
After noticing in the description of 'Baby shaman's first wand' that I was a nameless dungeon I chose my and what I would do 'Chaotic miniture-worlds', I would make large spaces with illusions and make a story inside of them, all seperated. And when I get to a certain level I would make a literal miniture world, I would simulate it and all. Maybe do instancing with the pocket dimension concept's mana 'taint', that'd be good.
Right now I'm looking through a contract enforced the system, it was basically a slave contract except I wasn't allowed to force him into life and death situations, and I couldn't stop him from making something when he had 'insperation' for it, also no torturing and beating him. There was nothing about him being an npc for a story in one of my miniture worlds, so... "You're hired! Currently you are my only personnel since I got caught up in magic, so I'm the founder with all the stock in the company while you're the CEO without pay!"
Before the old craft person could answer I said "Now let's plan the events that lead to your contract, let's make it a classic 'Sacrifice for my comrades!' gambit. I think you understand what you must do from the name. Guide your team over to the goblin village infront of you, just make them go through the valley and everything else will be dealt through improv." I quickly cut the line so I didn't need to listen to his complaints.
I quickly made a line to the shaman I was using as a trashbin "Heyo! It's me again, so I have this premonition that a group of humans are going to enter a valley far behind your tent, make an ambush there will you? Also, the old human agreed to be my slave in exchange for his life, he's the reason they'll enter the valley so make sure not to kill him. Also, when the humans are at their end the old man will sacrifice him self up for you to take him back as whatever he says. Take him up on that offer, ok?"
"Yes o' great dungeon!" The shaman said with reverence, his standard must've been really low for my trash to make him think of me as some great figure. But that's what makes him entertaining, I like him because of that "The valley is a day off and the humans will arrive in a few days there, as usual I'll leave my tra- stuff in the dead camp fire of your camp."
I cut the phone cable and dropped back to my evil layer, I had decorated it in my free time with glasses filled with a preserving liquid with a bunch of weird stuff inside it. There were also stuff like sulfuric acid and ether in the cabinets, my favorate pinch of lore were the research notes on human experiments. I put some fantasy shit in there, but I had done a few real autopsies on my victims before, shamefully I did once open up someone while they were fully concious. So that was in there too.
I levitated two bottles onto the table and filled it with water through concept, then I made the concept of 'human destiny', then seperated it into 'destiny of life' and 'destiny of death' which all humans had to accept. Both took place in the water, and I directed the destiny of death to effect all who get it to touch their wounds with a hightened destiny of death but also to contain all toxicity to the fluid, then the destiny of life was directed to only work if all of it was drunk by one person and to negate the bottle of humanity's unescapeable destiny of death.
I then took out the venom and antidote I created to fill up the lab, it was from the Oxyuranus microlepidotus (Inland taipan snake). The most venomous snake in the world, at least that's what the internet said and I was too lazy to look into it more. I did the same with a bunch of other dangerous shit Botulinum toxin, Dimethyl Cadmium, tetrodotoxin, cyanide, arsenic, strychnine, ricin, VX (Nerve toxin), Batrachotoxin, Maitotoxin, Botulinum toxin, and a dozen others. Of course the beautiful cure was filled with the antidote to all of them and set to be able to used before to not instantly die from all the shit in the poison.
I even put in the concept of time, rot, despair, sadness, rage, anger, jealousy, insanity, rust, disease, death, and finnaly; suicidal thoughts.
Let's call it 'Achlys's wrath' and 'Asclepius's mercy', called after two greek gods of poison and medicine. I threw the wrath into the warehouse since it was way to powerfull, it got way out of hand, it was just supposed to give the goblins an advantage, not a 'one strike one kill' agent.
I restarted but with sloth, time, slugishness, and escapism. then then the mercy one was given calm and orderly thinking. The new sloth poison was named 'Hypnos's elixir' and then given too the shaman, next the mercy was thrown into maker boy's bag, my instincts told me that wasn't good and 'fair' but I ignored them this time. I also left a note to use it in the ambush.
I wonder what would happen, I made a few more weapons since it was entertaining.
[Archimedes's glove
Archimedes, a legendary human mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient civilization 'greece', just before he died poured his life blood into a ring, a bracelet, a monocole, his toga, and an earing. This is the ring, he nourished it with the lifeblood that signified his accomplisments in engineering. -found in the dungeon 'Chaotic miniture-worlds'
Effects; increase proficiency of engineering by 10% (Max 100 points), gain archimedes's instinctual knowledge on engineering while worn.]
[Archimedes's core
Archimedes, a legendary human mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient civilization 'greece', just before he died poured his life blood into a ring, a bracelet, a monocole, his toga, and an earing. This is the toga, he nourished it with the lifeblood that signified his talent and core, mathmatics. -found in the dungeon 'Chaotic miniture-worlds'
Effects; increase talent in mathmatics by 50% (Max 300), +2 to intelligence (Max to 400).]
I took my time making theses things, the two of them made a small set.
[Archimedes's legacy (2/6) (Archimedes's glove and Archimedes's core)
2; intelligence +6, construction efficiency increased by 40% (Max 260)]
I made it a 6 piece set since I set up a whole story for it, only having it contain 2 pieces would show that i'm lying. It's for the asthetic, I would take it back from the gobo and give it to my sweet sweatshop worker.
I did everything I needed to in my eyes and I looked at the next tutorial mission.
[Tutorial 5/10
Make your first floor! If you haven't yet, then you must've had a failure in inheriting the instincts of a real dungeon. Rewards; trap schematic record, pitfall trap schematic.]
Well, that was easy. I looked at that classic dungeon floor just to make sure that losers that can't get to a level I like, get into the real stuff.
Now let's look at these schematics!
[Pitfall 32 mp/built]
Hmm, mission?
[Tutorial 6/10
It's dungeon 101 to make a trap, I don't care if you make a new one or you just use the schematic. Just make one to please your anscestors! Rewards; monster schematic record, slime schematic.]
Good point, good point! What is this pitfall trap?
I clicked on the pitfall and built it in a random hallway, it was just a hole with a few spikes. That isn't realistic at all! I refuse! I will make a realistic pitfall!
I have been making time based stuff for a while, so let's use that. First make the pit fall an indent formed brick opening, then leave a bunch of bricks at the bottom. Then instead of the wooden spikes, I made it out of raw metal and made it look like corrosion made it like that. Then the final touches, a spider web with poison excessively poured on it, then the finale. Time zone! Pass the time of more than a year!
Beautiful! My creations are perfect! Let's see record it as; ancient labyrinth corroded by time natural pitfall preset 1.
Now next thing!
[Tutorial 7/10
Make a slime man, what kind of dungeon doesn't even have a monster? You're a shame to your anscestors! Rewards; Skill schematic record, [Acid shot].]
That kinda stung, Let's just make it and then improve apon it till an actual monster is made, maybe a lich's old tomb? Forgotten by the lich who had left a lot of corpses and skeletons with loads of death mana that reanimated them.
Sadly I only had slimes right now, I made a slime with 52 mp and put it down into the pitfall I made and told it, look confused and as if you were trying to leave the pit, but keep failing to.
[Tutorial 8/10
Make one of monsters a little special, or else it'll be a mindless grind. You need to prepare for excitement, don't make yourself just the same as the rest! Or at least make yourself a bit more thrilling at times, not too much, or else it'll become the new standard. Rewards; Boss creation data pack, loot allocation]
Makes sense, let's see...
[[Acid shot] 84 mp]
Ahh it burns, from cheapness! I noticed something recently, these prices are actually what it costs when my instincts do it all for me. That means I can do the same with ambient mana for no price, though I don't have that right now.
Come on ambient mana, let papa null turn you into pure mana without taint and then make you my personal mana. Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't get beaten by my old mana~ That's it ambient mana, you'll get turned into a living being, a real one!
[100/100 mp]
Back to being rich! And then back to being poor, with making another slime and putting him at the top of the stairs then adding on [Acid shot] then telling it "If anything walks up those stairs you better f**king spit acid on them."
But then I had an idea, let's make it purple instead of green. It's just some coloring, get a bottle, put in the concept of coloring and guide it to making green purple. Now let's put it into the green slime, perfect!
Now, loot allocation? Put in a little note if someone got hit by it's acid before killing it 'I am sorry for your loss, since you'r a f**king loser!', if they didn't they get a nice ring with a +1 to acid resistance with a nice mural of someone getting acid on their face from a slime while climbing the stairs. It was called 'escaping the venom'.
[Tutorial 9/10
Make your big boss! The finale of the floor, you could go without, but that's boring! Make something epic, or just a big slime if you're boring! Reward; dungeon-net.]
I am not making a huge slime, and I'm going to stop censoring my own swears since it's no longer funny! Let's make a slime, but longer, and made of some kind of liquid metal or something, also scales of metal, no titanium!
I started to practice making slimes from ambient mana, who needs personal mana when you can just use the mana in the air?
After I finally got a living slime, though small as hell. I looked at what the goblin Archimedes was doing, he had already made a fake mini goblin village and had made a few lever attack things into the dirt that were hidden, then he had them hidden behind a mountain while they started to make bows and arrows by the dirrection of shaman boy.
I decided to give him a little gift.
[Easy peazy gobo favorable compound bow
A bow created by an aberant dungeon, it has been made with springs and elastic materials making it's release even more powerful, due to special processes even a goblin could use it. -found in the dungeon 'Chaotic miniture-worlds'
Effects; all goblins can draw this, +10 to ranged attack.]
I'm proud of myself, now back to slime making.
A day later I finally made a good slime out of ambient mana, let's not talk about all the slime leftovers that were thrown into the void.
I finally had a good control on making slimes, so I tried seeing if I could make a slime that made more slimes. It wasn't too hard, just make a slime that was bigger with the concept of 'creation' and 'reproduction' in the dirrection of 'mitosis' while it was also added on, then I thought 'slimes can see almost nothing, let's give these guys some eyes.' After which I made a circular green orb with the concept of 'sight' and '360 degree sight' and plopped it into the new boss.
But I wasn't satisfied, these slimes jump, so 'Why not make them slime snakes?' I lengthened the slime and made the end a bit bigger and triangular. I thought to myself for a moment, and I added [Acid spit] to it with relative ease, then the food coloring that had gotten an acidic add-on.
I looked at my creation, I wasn't satisfied and made it a bit bigger, than a little more, maybe a little more? How about I just double it? I'll just increase it a little more. In the end I got something which thinkness was 3 times the size of a human and could easily kill one if not prepared "Creature I grant thee the name 'temp boss 0.1', you will be replaced shortly. Don't get your hopes up, at best you in the future will be in a dark moist chamber hidden away, your children being used as normal monsters."
Anyways, I had the reward, I would look at it later. Dungeon-net? Sounds like the internet, hopefully it isn't one of those video platforms, since then I'll just waste a few years just watching it without anything to show for it except obscure knowledge that you could just look up without needing to look it up.
[Tutorial 10/10
welcome the surface, begin your journey! Well, you can't actually journey until you reach a high level as a dungeon. But begin getting 'visitors', since that's literally your purpose for existing. Reward; dungeon fairy (Since your still new and might give a little too much.)]
Naa, I'll set up my slime journey first. I thought to myself and made a small room hidden from everything, then had that room have and opening to and even more secluded room that only slimes could barely go through. Then I made a slime with the reproductive abilities of the boss that made slimes without reproductive abilities unlike the boss. and had them make more slimes, one of them had the acid spit ability. That was used only to replace the stairwell slime since I liked it so much.
